You can have both the 32-bit and 64-bit version of Sonar installed on the same PC. The only "complication" you might have is that certain 32-bit plug-ins register using unique GUID values into the operating system registry. Some vendors use the network ID to derive these GUIDs. With that, you might have some plug-ins from your previous machine that reference a network ID that is most likely going to be different in the new PC. If that is the case, you'll probably wind up having to removing the invalid plug-in from your project and add it again so that it can be found the next time you open the project. I've seen this with Wave Arts plug-ins I have on a few projects when I migrated to a new PC.
Also, to answer your potential next question, the same project can be opened in 32-bit and 64-bit Sonar without much problems. The only real difference is that if you use a 64-bit plug-in in the project, the 32-bit project won't be able to access it unless you use something like jBridge (instead of BitBridge).
Hope this helps,
